Monday, December 27, 2004 Shot down in a blaze o’ glory
I did not die nor did I kill anyone, but I finished this semester. Not my best work. I didn’t fail, but I will be retaking one of my classes this spring. Each final had a 3-hour time limit. I, along with everyone else, barely finish each time. Cumulative test suck ass. For one of the exams, I sat down wheedling calculators akimbo. Another was all spreadsheets and data analysis. After my last exam I met a friend at a bar and that began my bender of alcohol and comfort food. I have detox-ed, but the damage is done.

I think I’ll lighten up after exams.
Me:The two in the corner booth.
James: Yea?
Me:That’s totally the biggest douche bag and a girl that is out to piss off her dad.
James: (Laughing)
Me:I mean she’s got the whole church-girl-look going.And look at that guy’s shirt.
James:She already dated the guy with the flames on his shirt.
Me:That shirt is worse then the kind of shirt that changes color with body heat.
James: (Laughing)
Me:That’s the kinda guy I’d like to punch…It’s rare that I hate someone for everything that they are.
Thursday, December 02, 2004 My First Falafel
Walking down to the first floor, I ponder the age-old question. What do I want for lunch? Burger, salad, pizza, General Tao’s chicken, soup, pita? I step out into the cool air and think that I should have grabbed my jacket. Not cause it was too cool, but because I look really cool in it. Right then I think FALAFEL!
I can’t make sense of the connection from jacket to falafel, it just happened. So I looked both ways, even though it is a one-way street (what a douche), and crossed the street. I am really excited about this falafel. I keep saying falafel over and over again in my head. It’s a funny word (again, what a douche).
I make my way to the counter just waiting for one of the two people working to ask me what I want. I am the only person in there, but they have Christmas music blasting from the speakers and the TV's on MSNBC, full blast. So I yell, “the falafel please”. I have it grilled with a mix of veggies and feta cheese. Added a drink & chips for $1.69 more. Nothin’ but the high life for me. The falafel was good, and the Sunchips & diet coke combo was worst ever penny. All one hundred and sixty-nine of them. A friend told me he had had the best falafel ever at the Penguin. That will be my first stop post exams.
Quote of the day:
“This is why I have a problem with Jude Law. Who in their right mind would go for Julie Roberts when he has Natalie Portman? I mean DUH, Natalie Portman... in a pink wig.”
